Built by Washington.

The mill that Washington built
stands in ravine about half mile
east of Perryopolis, Fayette County.
1t is still in operation and propelled,
as he designed, by a stream flowing
down rugged run called after the
founder of the mill. The latter is, as
might be expected, a rude structure.
Original Y it consisted of but one story,
and the lines where Washington left
off and the improvements, such as they
were, begun are plainly discernible.
The name of the present proprietor is
Samuel Smith, who takes pride out of
the fact that it has been kept in the
Smith family since it passed from the
possession of the illustrious founder.
To the east of this are to be seen two
of the block-houses in which Washing
tons slaves were housod-the only
ones remaining through the years
since their occupancy. Still further
east on the elevation stands the house
of Mr.. Hersey, one of the original
owners of that portion of the grant to
Washington upon which Perryopolis
was built.-Pittsburgh Leader.

Some Excuses.

All married men and all contem-
plating matrimony will find it to their
advantage to carefully memorize the
following list of plausible excuses for
coming home at 2 q. m. or later. They
have been compiled for IId-Bits by
benedict of long experience.
You may state that:
You dropped in to see friend and
found him dangerously i'll with the
rheumatism, and remained at his mr.
gent request to cheer him with spright-
ly repartee;
You met a clergyman who used to
be one of your college friends, and
yielded to his pressing invitation to
accompany him home; you have spent
the evening In his study engaged in
discussion on heather missions;
You have been at the office looking
over the books, and are too tired and
worried to talk;
The clock is wrong;
You have been discussing q great
money-making scheme with we'll
known financier; and if your expecta-
tons are realized she shall have a new
sealskin sacque;
Your watch stopped, and you had no
idea that it was so late;
You have been down town with a
newspaper man, and you have been
watching the process of printing O
great morning paper. This is an
original and good excuse. Try to en-
thuse little about the giant presses,
the horny-handed workmen, etc.
You have been to tenement-house
fire, and have been assisting the poor
distressed inmates to remove their
goods to places of safety. State that
your heart bled at the spectacles of
abject poverty which you then wit
messed;
You were run over by truck on
you way home at 10 o'clock; you were
taken to drug store; you would not
permit the bystanders to send for your
family, because you felt that you would
soon be able to walk; You are much
better now, and think that all you need
is perfect quiet.
In conclusion, let me say that some
tact must be exercised in using these
excuses. Don't be too anxious to tell
your little story; on the other hand,
beware of appearing too careless and
light hearted. Don't overdo the mat
ter; don't tell too elaborate q tale, or
you will trip yourself up. just make o
plain statement of the alleged facts,
and leave your hearers imagination
to supply the details. And remember
that virtue is its own reward. It'd.

Australia.

Australia first became known to Eu-
ropeans in the beginning of the seven
teenth century. Though a vague out
line of land in this portion of the
Southern Ocean appears upon the map
of some Portuguese navigators dated
1912, the first real discovery was prob
ably made 10y the Dutch in 1906, when
the captain of the yacht Duyfken, sent
out from Bantam to explore part of
the coast of New Guina, saw the north
ern shore of the continent at distance.
The same year Torres Strait was named
from Portuguese navigator who sailed
through it, In 1916 Hartog, Dutch
captain, came upon the west coast of
Australia and called it Endrachts land,
from the name of his ship. From this
time other parts of the west coast were
discovered. In 1922 the Leeuwin dis
covered the south coast at Cape Leu
win, and shortly after Van Nuysts
sailed from that cape on the south coast
to Spencer's Gulf. DeWitt's Land and
Carpentaria, in North Australia, were
also discovered by Dutch traders. Cap
tain Cook, in 1870, discovered New
South Wales and botany Bay, which
was so called by Sir Joseph Banks, the
botanist of the expedition, from the
wonderful floral display which its plains
afforded. In 1888 the first English
colony was established in New South
Wales, at first as penal settlement.

! sit within my cottage small,
While steadily the raindrops fall
Upon its roof in cadence SOFT
As some sweet tone I've heard quite Oft
The fire upon the hearth burns bright,
Flooding the room with mellow light;
And DER my heart there steals n spell
OF sweet content, for all is we'll.
In yon rude criby my baby boy,
My own sweet pet, his fathers JOY,
Lies fast asleep, his chubby arm
Thrown DER his head i'm graceful charm.
There on that snow-white little cot
Sleeps peacefully my little Dot
SO pure she seems that angels might
Look down enchanted at the sight.
And on that little table there,
Which have laid with so much care,
Awaits a cup of fragrant tea
For Tom, who'll soon be here with me.
No heavy debts hang DER my head
To keep me in eternal dread,
Simple my fare, but good my health;
My husbands love 70 me is wealth.
And while the gentle raindrops fall,
i can but think upon 10 all,
And wish the rich could live like me,
In such sweet peace and unity.
Our little home is rude and poor,
Quaint are its wares, and bare its floor;
But still to live here thus is bliss;
My home TO me kingdom is.

In recent lecture Sir William
Thompson concluded that in the light
of recent calculation, and taking into
account all possibilities of greater
density in the suns interior, and of
greater and less activity of radiation in
past ages, at would be rash to assume
as probable anything more than 90
OOO,00 years of the suns light in the
past history of the earth, or to reckon
on more than five or six million years
of sunlight for the future"
